31 Jan '17

Dear all, Please find the program for this semester's BERG meetings attached. We still have one meeting slot available (next week, Wednesday Feb 8th), so if anyone is interested in giving a talk or hosting a discussion on a particular paper or topic please let me know. This week, in a slight change to our previously advertised topic, I will be giving a talk entitled: "Are automatic imitation effects influenced by experience of synchronous action in children?" As usual, we will be in the Psychology Common Room (3A94) from 5:30pm, with drinks and nibbles! I hope to see you all then! Best, Eoin ?

BERG meetings are back! 18th Jan
by Eoin O'Sullivan 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Dear BERGers, I am writing with some good news: BERG meetings will be resuming next week! On Wednesday (18th) we will be having informal introductions and a catch up in the Psychology Common Room (3A94) from 5:30pm, with drinks and nibbles provided. I am currently recruiting volunteers to give a short talk or to host a discussion this semester so please do sign up for slot at this doodle poll (and feel free to contact me with any questions): http://doodle.com/poll/mbgh7rvmdwx89vyx It is worth noting that there will be no BERG meeting on the 25th of January as the UFAW Animal Welfare Student Scholars' Meeting will be taking place on that date (at Stirling University). This will be a great opportunity for BERG members to learn about a wide range of student research that is funded by the wonderful UFAW (who also fund our BERG meetings), so please do come along to this meeting if you can. Attendance is free, but you must register your intention to attend by emailing Dr. Stephen Wickens (wickens(a)ufaw.org.uk) For more information please go to this website: http://www.ufaw.org.uk/ufaw-events/animal-welfare-student-scholarsa-meeting… All are welcome to our BERG meetings, and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Best, Eoin?
